Usually we put the && operator on the line above.  But ignore that
comment if that's actually the predominant style in xfsrestore.

	if (need_fixrootdir == BOOL_FALSE &&
	    !(ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth)) {

Trailing space.

Might be nice to put the entire string on one line for greppability?

		mlog(MLOG_ERROR | MLOG_TREE,
 "%s:%d: %s: Assertion `ino != persp->p_rootino || hardh == persp->p_rooth` failed.\n",

Same here.

Otherwise this looks like a good improvement.
